yapyap 0 Report post Posted November 25, 2010 Yes the ballerina ones are nice. Artist is Binh(sp) I believe. My friend bought one of his paintings when we were there too. She's a pretty avid art collector and bought some better known paintings. Me, I just need to fill my walls. binh.. you are probably right... Prefer the viet to the indo (abstract ones) myself... was at bali, ubub area and saw kids painting those abstract arts.. so i was quite put off after those scenes.. well... paintings need to suit one home's design and concept also... surely cant put chinese water colour painting in my house...! lol but i love the chinese modern paintings and sculptures! if the budget from TS is 100-200. i would go hanoi and pick up some of these canvas.. definitely worth the trip..

Trung's "Hoi An" is **** nice too....but i dun even dare to guess hw much it'll cost. it's marked as "Price on Request". Now we knw tt's another term for "Such high price you won't be able to afford it if you had to ask".....lol. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes i absolutely agree. Even us poor and artistically illiterate have to draw the line somewhere.... and I draw the line there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
